We noted today that our Fish Tales has a rather high frequency LED flickering of all of the back box LEDs. The powering originates from the driver board at connector J120 as best I can recall.

The power driver board is a new Rotten Dog board. It appears the multiple parallel lamps circuits, three or four, are power by separate Triacs. The flicker appears almost to be 60Hz which is really uncomfortable to view.

Is this a circuit board problem, a problem with using LEDs that don't provide a high enough resistance, or some other problem?

Yes, the flickering is in attract mode - but I don't recall if the problem is also in play mode.
We will try changing the settings.

Set A 25 to No and A 29 to Off. Problem resolved.

Thank you all for the good information.
